Since I apparently started this thread with my comments about
environmental lead, I wish to apologize
for getting the list so far off track. It was not my intent to stir
up the lurking paranoia and expressions of
self-interest on the part of some but, rather, to express my concern
about the fact that lead is not a
friendly substance. I was not endorsing the ban on lead weights as I
think it is probably an over-
reaction which a little education could correct. My attempt at humor
by referring to brain damage
in Washington was directed at the general population of politicians,
not just Republicans. On the
other hand, I do object to people labeling me and attributing
motivations and positions to me that
they have no possible way of knowing. I have opinions that may be at
odds with those of others
but that should not subject me and others to attacks for holding such
opinions. I do agree that it
would be best to not discuss such things in this forum and I will try
to choose my words more
carefully in the future to avoid such excitement. However, the
FREEDOM to express ourselves
should not be something any of us should attempt to stifle.
